Gastro-intestinal Conditions and Autism

Gut and Brain


We have looked at Gut Issues on the “The Medicine and Finances” page.

Gut issues and food have always been much discussed topic regarding kids on the Spectrum.

I came across this video on ClevelandClinicCME on YouTube called Gastrointestinal Comorbidities in Autism Spectrum Disorder. As I listened to the video, there were some points that made me think back to when Alex was a baby and we had difficulty finding the right formula (I could not breastfeed for long as I did not produce enough milk).

There were also points regarding restrictive eating patterns and behaviours, that just were lightbulb moments.
